Anthelios XL Stick for ultra sun protection

  • print this

The temperature has been reported to be as high as 30° C and the UV index is at 11 and that is an extreme UV status which calls for ultra UV protection of course! Definitely an extremely good excuse to get the La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Stick Protection SPF50+ I say.

Anyway, I was eyeing this protection stick for awhile but couldn’t find a reason to buy it until the 20% discount from GSS. I was told that this broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50 stick is good to protect the delicate eye area. I had a look at the ingredients and was slightly dismayed to find that it contains Isopropyl Palmitate, which are fatty acids and derivatives that are known for their ability to clog pores. So much for calling this a non-comedogenic product.

Protect the delicate undereye area and lips under hot sun
However, this is still better than using sunscreen on the eye area, which I sometimes resort to if I’m out in the pool under the hot sun. I haven’t seen products that provide such high protection for the eyes and I guess it should be safe for short term usage as the undereye area has no oil glands anyway. While it isn’t oily, I don’t intend to use it daily because I’m worried about developing milia seeds since it contains pore clogging ingredient.
